PRESS RELEASE

FOX FLIGHT BARBADOS and SVGAIR LAUNCH MEDICAL AIR SERVICE

Christ Church, Barbados and St. Vincent, W.I. Aug.15, 2002

Fox Flight Barbados and SVG Air today announced a partnership agreement in offering a comprehensive air transport service for patient care in the Caribbean and South America. The partnership will service three specific markets: Caribbean tourists, Caribbean Islanders and South American patients.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity of partnering with SVG Air and have instant access to their routes in the West Indies" said Dan Nelson, Managing Director of Fox Flight Barbados. "SVG Air has an excellent reputation in safety and service. Their staff is experienced and friendly and work well with our team. Although we are stationed in Barbados, our business encompasses air transport of patients throughout the Caribbean and South America. SVG Air is a perfect fit as the partnership expands our reach and we can offer medical transport for all the islands of the Caribbean".

"The medical expertise that Fox Flight Barbados offers is a very needed service" added Paul Gravel, Head of Operations at SVG Air. "At times, with critical emergencies in the past, we have had to transport patients without medical support. By partnering with Fox Flight Barbados, we can now offer complete medical expertise quickly and efficiently. This is just as important in non- emergency cases where medical escort is needed in the safe transfer of the patient. The partnership includes Fox Flight fitting the 402 aircraft with a specialized stretcher system to safely transport patients off Islands to medical facilities in Barbados and other centers".

"This partnership is the first of its kind in the Caribbean and offers a premier medical service " commented Mr. Nelson. "We carry with us complete medication bags- a mini ICU (Intensive Care Unit) capability on all our flights. With this teaming arrangement, patients who previously could not or would not travel without medical care can now do so safely and dependably. Plus, patients now have a choice on destinations to receive treatment throughout the West Indies. Even standard procedures offered on some Islands such as MRI's are now available to patients throughout the Caribbean with this type of transport service".

The partnership compliments the Fox Flight private air ambulance services planned at the Grantley Adams International Airport Barbados early next year. In particular, the specially equipped SVG Air 402 aircraft will transport patients to Barbados as the hub point for jet service (both commercial and private air ambulance) to North America, Europe and Asia.
